Skills Bootcamps are free courses, giving you the opportunity to build up sector-specific skills and assistance in getting an interview with an employer upon completion. The Skills Bootcamp in Sustainability and Environmental Management also assists those already in work to advance their careers at a time when knowledge of sustainability, and carbon literacy are becoming increasingly important.
